Quotes

"I would like to thank you for meeting with me yesterday. I was in awe of the IST facilities at Penn State. The research that Tom said the IST college was conducting was incredible and I am thoroughly impressed by it all. Thank you for making time in your schedule for me, as I found the information you gave me very helpful. Also, Tom did a great job with the tour and was very informative. Penn State is, after my visit, now my number one school. Thanks again for your time." ~ A Prospective Student

"I’d like to send a special thank you to the many many people that contributed to the success of yesterday’s activities" ~ Erica Garner (DOING)

"Thank you so much for meeting with us on Friday. It was a great visit, very informative and most definitely taught us alot. I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to speak with us. I must tell you that meeting Tom was a pleasure and he is a great role model for the IST College and the University. Please thank him on our behalf. [My son] is very excited about Penn State and has started reading up on the application process. Thanks again and have a great summer." ~ A prospective student's parent.

"Caite Ferro was a great resource and was able to provide a student perspective to courses, group projects, faculty interaction, research opportunities, student organizations, and Penn State in general. Her responses were very appropriate, and did not interrupt the flow of the conversation. It was especially helpful that she is minoring in SRA since the prospect was most interested in the SRA major." ~ Courtney Wozetek (Academic Advisor)
